I’m looking for some really terrible literature for a project, and i’d like to use stuff in the public domain. Can anyone recommend some stuff you’d never recommend? Stuff on the level of My Immortal, except i’m pretty sure that one is protected.

    Bulwer-Lytton is your man.

    ‘HO, Diomed, well met! Do you sup with Glaucus tonight?’ said a young man of small stature, who wore his tunic in those loose and effeminate folds which proved him to be a gentleman and a coxcomb.

    ‘Alas, no! dear Clodius; he has not invited me,’ replied Diomed, a man of portly frame and of middle age. ‘By Pollux, a scurvy trick! for they say his suppers are the best in Pompeii’.

    And so forth.
